About Small DogsEverything You Always Wanted to Know

This is Silky Desi demonstrating the cheerful and friendly disposition we find in so many of our small buddies.

Small dogs are full of courage;
they have a cheerful, devil-may-care attitude. From sweet Cavaliers to sassy
Silkys, they know their job is to brighten our day. They deserve their own
website.

This site is resource and community, here to answer your questions and
to be a place where you can share your stories. Your buddy deserves the very
best, we will be sure to let you know when we find something that blows our
socks off. And the nice part is that the best stuff doesn’t have to be super
pricey.

It is easy these days to find data on the internet, but rare to
find real and helpful information from true experts. Here you can declare your
freedom from content farms and cookie cutter information. All the posts were
written by real trainers with years of personal experience. Most of them were
written by me, Sandy Mesmer.

I have been breeding and showing Silky Terriers for the last 34 years.
My goal has always been to breed a better dog, in mind and body. Tessier Silkys
has achieved 2 World and 95 AKC Championships, so we have done okay.

Over the years, I have accumulated a body of simple, workable tips
about behavior and training and I have lots of really smart dog friends. My
friends and I can answer a multitude of questions.
